Alex Schwartz had a great job and a promising future - until he caught an unfortunate bout of vampirism, and agreed (on pain of death) to join the Laundry, Britain's only counter-occult secret intelligence agency.
His first assignment is in Leeds - his old hometown. But the thought of telling his parents he's lost his job, let alone their discovering his 'condition', is causing Alex almost as much anxiety as his new lifestyle of supernatural espionage.
His only saving grace is Cassie Brewer, a student from the local Goth Festival who flirts with him despite his fear of sunlight (and girls). But Cassie has secrets of her own - secrets that make Alex's night life seem positively normal . . .
James Bond meets H. P. Lovecraft in the latest occult thriller from Hugo Award winner Charles Stross, in a series where British spies take on the supernatural.

In der Qualität weit von den ersten 3 Büchern der Serie entfernt, aber immer noch eine deutliche Steigerung gegenüber dem unterirdischen letzten Band. Der trockene Humor ist zurück, die Handlung wieder interessanter durch die Wahl eines neuen Protagonisten.

This time, it's Alex the vamp.. the blood drin... the PHANG's story, mostly, in which he gets more than his fair share in both things love and world saving.

Once more Stross' overbounding phantasy comes up with skin-crawling horrors, dark humour, and unforeseen but plausible turns-of-events.

The laundry files keep getting better

Kundenrezension aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 am 3. August 2016

A great continuation in the Landry file, this time from the point of view of Alex the new vampire (last seen in the Rhesus Chart). Warning: this book has elves - very scary Striossian elves though - and they're looking to take over Britain. If you liked the previous instalments, get it!

James Kemp

A fantastic exploration of the wider Laundryverse - and full dress magical warfare in the UK

Kundenrezension aus Großbritannien 🇬🇧 am 29. Juni 2016

Verifizierter Kauf

The Nightmare Stacks is another turn in the Laundry series, which has moved firmly away from following Bob Howard to being about the world that Bob inhabits. The main point of view in this story is Alex, one of the vampires from The Rhesus Chart. We also see some from Cassie's point of view (a new character) and Pinky & Brains return and play a strong supporting part in the story. We also see Pete the Vicar as Alex's mentor.

Alex is not a cynical snarky commentator. Instead we have a primary character that is focussed on work and lacking some of the social skills, especially in dealing with the opposite sex, that are more commonplace. Alex is getting used to the changes of being a vampire, and how this affects his life. He's still in contact with the other surviving PHANGs, but they've obviously been separated for safety reasons. Like a lot of people in their 20s he's still under pressure from his parents to settle down, and this forms a bit of sub-plot to the book. There is a hugely entertaining scene where he takes Cassie to dinner with his parents at the same time as his younger sister introduces her partner too. This manages to build some interesting character development as well as help the general plot along too.

What I enjoyed most about the book though was the exploration of the Laundryverse that Charlie Stross has done by switching characters. He has also played with some interesting tropes in doing so as well. Cassie as a Manic Pixie Dream Girl being the most obvious. The whole nature of magic (by computation) is developed in the Nightmare Stacks. We are presented with another civilisation based on the same magic that the Laundry tries to keep in check. This civilisation is completely internally consistent and follows a logical progression from what we've seen already. It's also quite alien, but understandable. However when it comes into contact with our humanity it finds us more alien.

The contact (CASE NIGHTMARE RED) is a nightmare indeed. If the The Annihilation Score gave us some overt effects of CASE NIGHTMARE GREEN, then The Nightmare Stacks is 9/11 style coverage of the nightmare. We have a full mobilisation of the UK armed forces, COBR meeting and also thousands of deaths. There's dragons vs typhoon jet fighters, and an interesting take on a modern armoured cavalry brigade. We also see full on magical warfare.

Overall this is one of the more visual and interesting Laundry books, and if I was to pick one for a movie this would be spectacular. It would need to be a cert 18 apocalyptic horror, but then it is a Laundry story...

the series is definitely getting darker

Kundenrezension aus Großbritannien 🇬🇧 am 1. Januar 2019

Verifizierter Kauf

Alex Schwartz, recently a highly paid bank employee, currently working for the Laundry on a much reduced civil service salary, and a reluctant vampire to boot, has been posted to Leeds to help set up a secondary HQ. Or at least, that’s why he thinks he’s there. Higher powers have sent him there for a rather different reason.

Cassie was a student, until she got her brain sucked out and replaced by the consciousness of the head spy of an invading Elven army. Alex has to save the world from Cassie’s warlord father. But all he thinks he has to do is convince his parents that Cassie is his new girlfriend. Good luck with that.

We first met Alex in The Rhesus Chart, where Bob Howard helped flush out the vampires. He’s now a Laundry employee (it was either that, or something more terminal), and we get to see how he is faring as the new boy.

Each of the books in the series has a schitck: here it’s elves. Usually in fantasy we get to see an army casually plough through the peasantry in the countryside before the big showdown. Here we get to see them plough through the ordinary people in the suburbs of Leeds: it cleverly demonstrates how utterly horrifying those fantasy battles should be, but somehow never are.

Although there are still the absurdities, of the clash of dark horrors and government bureaucracy, and we care about the various characters, the series is definitely getting darker, as it inexorably moves towards the End of Days.

Witty, Astute and Very Exciting

Kundenrezension aus Großbritannien 🇬🇧 am 5. Dezember 2016

Verifizierter Kauf

This is the seventh book in the Laundry Files series, so if you're looking for a place to start I recommend book 1, The Atrocity Archives. Just so that you don't miss out on the joy of reading the whole saga and seeing everything develop.

The Nightmare Stacks covers a climactic event in the Laundry Cycle - invasion by an alien power, also known as CASE NIGHTMARE RED. Author Charles Stross somehow manages to balance wonderfully between well-characterized individual viewpoints and still providing a wide-scale, powerful view of strategic and tactical military action, all still infused with that bizarre yet believable hint of bureaucracy that makes the series so peculiarly, beautifully British.

The pace is incredible - the tension builds constantly for the last half of the book, and that starts from a point that is already tense enough - by the end, I was quite as watery-kneed as any character. This is, I think, the fourth time I've read this book and I still can't put it down once the ball starts rolling.

While I would rate all the books in the Laundry Cycle as 5 stars by comparison with other books, The Nightmare Stacks is a particularly strong entry in the series and very timely. Read it ASAP, you won't regret it.

Fresh Laundry!

Kundenrezension aus Großbritannien 🇬🇧 am 4. August 2016

Verifizierter Kauf

This is a review of the seventh book in Charles Stross's Laundry series, featuring the covert department of the UK intelligence services that deals with supernatural challenges, especially the threat that the Great Old Ones will return to earth to eat our brains. While readers may have joined in at this point or with the previous book, The Annihilation Score - both are perfectly accessible - I think most will have followed from the beginning. So if you haven't, there may be some mild spoilers below and I would strongly suggest doing so (they're excellent - it won't be a chore!) before reading any more.

I'm intrigued by the way that the Laundry books have blossomed. I have always enjoyed the mix of classic horror, geeky in-jokes and organisational politics - Dilbert meets Doctor Who - but at the start these books were infrequent, coming out between other Stross projects. Lately there has been an annual book, and they've now widened their scope from Bob Howard, the original hapless geek protagonist ,to other Laundry members - first, Bob's partner Mo and now, to Alex the ex-banker and vampire. (The joke writes itself, really).

Doing that has given the books a shot in the arm, I'd say. Bob has accumulated skills and powers steadily until there was a risk that, like a 20th level paladin in a starter dungeon, he would just steamroller the bad guys away. Mo also has a lot of power and her violin solos are to die for (literally) but Alex is basically a beginner. His vampiricism gives him certain advantages, but also vulnerabilities, and he's relatively inexperienced.

He is, though, the man on the ground - in Leeds - when the somewhat Delphic "Forecasting Ops" warns that something may be about to happen - specifically, CASE NIGHTMARE RED. With a scratch team, he's about to take on the greatest threat to the British mainland since 1066...

I enjoyed this book. I really enjoyed it. There was just the right balance - for me - between action (BIG battles! Shooty things! Planes! bangs!), intrigue (Alex becomes entwined with the enemy agent First of Spies and Liars in a kind of reverse James Bond scenario), humour (Alex's family life is also going through a crisis, and you can't expect Mum and Dad to lay off sorting out their children's love and professional lives because of a mere incursion form another dimension, can you?) and deadly, dull bureaucracy (I shudder to imagine the post-event review coming after this book closes...)

Stross also continues to slot folklore and SFF/ horror tropes into the framework of his imagined universe, where magic is equivalent to advanced mathematics and the rapid increase in both conscious brains and computer hardware is fast creating a critical mass of computation that has thinned the walls of reality. In earlier books we've had superheroes (the ability to manipulate reality creates beings with all sorts of new powers), vampires and now... but I won't say exactly what. Just take my word. It's impeccably worked out, chilling in conception and inflicts real panic on the streets of Leeds.

It was also fun to see the imagined response - detailed and convincing - by the British armed forces to the scenario: the usual state of directed panic as whatever resources are available are thrown at poorly understood threats with unfortunate Tommy Atkins left to put things right:

For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Chuck him out, the brute!
But it's " Saviour of 'is country " when the guns begin to shoot...

In sum my message is: buy this book. Then turn off Twitter, lock your door, cancel any work and just read it. You won't want to stop till it's done.

I can only guess what's going to come next. I think events here have now blown the Laundry's deniability to bits: I want to see how they operate under a spotlight...

Relocation,Relocation,EXTERMINATION!!!!!

Kundenrezension aus Großbritannien 🇬🇧 am 1. August 2016

Verifizierter Kauf

"Damn," I thought as I started to read this "Not another 'Dark ELves' story". As a fan of Ben Aaronovitchs River series, with the same dedication to Sir TP (I'm guessing ' Lords and Ladies' and 'Wee Free Men' ) in the front of 'Foxglove Summer' I kind of felt disappointed.And then we've also had 'Thor:The Dark World' and going a bit further back from that theres the Dark Eldar and Druchii from Warhammar.
Not too keen on the way superheros were brought into the Laundry Universe in "The Annihilation Score" . Good but no cigar. So not happy at all to see the 'unfair folk' being portaled into a story again, with perhaps the least interesting V character from "The Rhesus Chart" gettiing the lead with Bob still M.F.N. and moving this all up NORTH???!!!!!! It seemed the series had deservedly peaked with the excellent 'The Apocalypse Codex' and Forecasting Ops was predicting the strong probablity of crushing disappointment.
Just how wrong can a guy get?
I burned through this book like a firewyrm through tofu.I begrudged the need for sleep, sustance of any kind except coffee,the subsequent bathroom breaks and any level of social interaction.
Its simply brilliant,and the moment 'CASE NIGHTMARE RED' and 'PLAN RED RABBIT " is activated the story is literally unputdownable. Not only do we get to welcome back a few old characters and devices from the other tales, but as Alex and the First of Spies and Liars take the lead and journey through this story the Laundry universe opens up spectacularly and suddenly you can kind of glimpse exactly where Charles Stross is taking us in 'CASE NIGHTMARE GREEN'.
And based on the sheer level of carnage and destruction,coupled with the highly entertaining use of some very familar buildings and landmarks ( I live about fifteen miles from Leeds) this is a terrifying prospect indeed.
Just the best story I've read this year and a tremendous expansion of the series. Hugely recommended.
